Seasoned Protagonist Kazuma Kiryu Returns In New Yakuza Title

Seasoned Yakuza protagonist, Kazuma Kiryu, is set to make a return in the next franchise entry. It seems like SEGA are taking the multiple character route again, which was a huge success for Yakuza 4. Both Kazuma and Goro will be playable in the next game, with presumably more to follow.

Series director Toshihiro Nagoshi had the following to say: "It's said that if Kiryu doesn't appear, Yakuza cannot begin. However, when we revealed Majima as the first main character, in addition to the reaction of 'You can use Majima this time!' it was widely said that 'Kiryu is gone!' and 'It's a game exclusively with Majima,' so we wanted to quickly get out information about Kiryu's appearance as well. Please wait just a bit more for the next update."

We know, you'll sleep tonight.
